HELLO EVERYONE!
After a long time on a hiatus from tumblr, fandom finally dragged me back and right in time for my 5.3k followers mark! Yay! Thanks everyone who follows me and appreciate my content, it gives me so much joy seeing the comments in the tags and the likes and reblogs. Seriously, thank you.
Since I’m back on tumblr and editing again after a long slump, I thought to myself: well, why not do a little something to celebrate? So I present to all of you Lacie’s A to Z Myth Moodboards!
HOW WILL IT WORK?
• SEND ME AN ASK WITH UP TO TWO LETTERS AND A MYTHOLOGICAL BEING. It can be a god, a mortal, spirits and even something as generic as “Vampires”. All of them are free, except for P.
• FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. First to ask, first to get. If your first letter is free and someone else asked for something else for second letter, please understand I’ll be doing their request, not yours.
• NO GREEK OR ROMAN MYTHOLOGY. I’ve already done a meme and already have a Greek Mythology posterset series, so I won’t be taking them with one exception: P for Penelope, for my friend and constant support, @solaskoroleva (check out her blog if you can, she’s awesome).
• REBLOGGING AND FOLLOWING ISN’T NEEDED, BUT APPRECIATED. So more people can see it! And when I say appreciated, I’ll probably squeal and hug my phone.
Well, and that covers it! Again, thanks everyone for the support! ♥
